Sono Harris Is With Jesus – Pray for the Harris family. “Today, July 4, 2010, at approximately 11pm, our dear mother, Sono Sato Harris, passed away and went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ.

Ministry, Guilt and Seasons of Life – This is a fantastic article from Jani Ortlund in which she challenges women, mothers especially, not to live under the shadow of guilt. “As a young mother everyone wants something from you—your family, your church, your boss, your neighbor.

    Could I Be One of the Bad Guys?

    Here is something I have been considering over the past few days: Every one of us acknowledges there is a lamentable lack of unity among Christians today. Yet none of us seems to consider that we ourselves may be the cause of that disunity, or at least contribute to it. In our minds, it is…
